I really don't understand the deal with the NBA moving teams to cities that just can't support a team only about 1/3rd of the league has a consistent fanbase that brings in a large revenue (maybe less depending on who you consider to consistently sell out no matter what). There are MANY big market cities in the NBA without a team. Move these low market teams elsewhere

Teams that will consistently sell and should stay in their cities:
SAS, NY, Brooklyn, Boston, LAL, OKC, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Portland, Toronto, Golden State(soon to be San Fran so i'll put them here)

The next tier of teams are ones that have great fans and sell out when good but if they arent....they could be moved to a bigger city, but better management could solve their problems:
memphis, wolves, 76ers, pacers, pistons, hawks, heat, magic, New Oreleans, Utah, Phoenix, Cleveland, Denver.

The next tier are teams that really have never been big basketball cities and aren't ever going to do well here so they need to be moved:
Milwaukee, Charlotte, Washington, Clippers(lets be real they have terrible owners and fans)

The final tier is the mess of the league:
Sacramento Kings(great city but awful owners)

Just a thought moving Sacramento to seattle, milwaukee to St. Louis, Washington to Louisville, and Charlotte to Vegas could do wonders for the NBA

You do realize that even though this team has been to the playoffs once in the last 17 years we still are top 6 in sell outs and that's in Oakland not sf. It don't matter where in the bay(oak or sf) they play they will sell out
